Do You Drive Like YOUR Kids Live Here?

 Here's an idea that is So Good- I wish I would have thought of it myself!  It's NOT ONLY creative  and effective- It helps save the  lives of our children.

Did you know approximately 70% of all children killed or injured by motor vehicles are struck within blocks from their own homes? Did you know an average of 4 children age 14 and younger were killed and 500 were injured every day in the United States in motor vehicle crashes during 2009?



Now there is something small you can do to raise awareness and save lives. Enter the “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” project. This is designed to help end distracted driving, raise awareness of children in our neighborhoods, and reduce the number of senseless pedestrian deaths. It  encourages you to post signs which simply state “DRIVE LIKE YOUR KIDS LIVE HERE.”


It’s a simple, powerful message, and one that  deserves some recognition. To learn more about Drive Like Your Kids Live Here, check out their website:   http://www.drivelikeyourkidslivehere.com/
